And now for a behind-the-scenes story involving a ceramic animal. While we were working on this project, something unfortunate happened.
…this occurred:
I’m not quite ready to write about it in detail, so here’s John’s account of how the mishap unfolded:
My favorite giant ceramic dog—rescued from HomeGoods three years ago for just $29—lost its face. In the words of a famous blogger: it sucked and then I cried.
There’s currently a candlelit vigil for our fallen friend. Goodbye, Mr. Ceramic Dog. You were a wonderful companion and required no cleanup. Then this happened.
I may try to glue him back together, though some fragments are very small. In the meantime, I’ll be found shaking, sighing, and asking “why?”
All kidding aside, I’ll survive.
